A 1944 or 45 Wheat Penny with a bullet in Lincoln's Head ( found back in 1985 or 1986 )

how ironic is that.. lincoln wheatie with a bullett in his head.

 

[Evolution]

Apparently it's not that uncommon to use wheaties for target practice. Heres a couple more. I found one and my brother found one.

Those are cool, I've never seen anything like those.

Looks like ole Abe's always getting it..here's the only "odd" coin I've found, other than a token.

Here is a cache of Aussie Schiilings found in Mich. under an old house a few years back. One has "ELEANOR" inscribed on it.



Second-quarter used for target practice-

Whats this? a barber qtr, to be sure. The obverse is blank, perfectly smooth minus scratches. It is the same thickness as a quarter. Some have suggested an unfinished love token? Maybe a blank strike? I dont know. I found it and keep it in a box with the others 8).

Wow, must have taken that person a long time to carve that.

I did this to a nickel in the 70's on a windowsill at school. I still have it, I think. One day I just started to rub the nickel on a stone, but very smooth, surface and the nickel was worn almost to a mirror like finish.

I found this in my barn earlier this year. I buy and sell antiques and I'm always moving stuff in and out of there that I pick up at estate sales and whatnot. This may have fallen out of something as I was moving it. I have no idea what it is. If anyone can shed some light on it I'd be grateful. The coin is a 1918 1 Franc but the reverse has been sanded smooth and stamped with "F.F. Morrison, 30637, Photo, Sec. 11". Any ideas?

Cool looking coins, thanks for sharing.

Wow....Lots of great finds there. I love those carved tokens -- those are one-of-a kind works of art! I'd be so psyched.

Cheers and HH,

Found this love token / Mercury dime this summer . One of my personal favorites .

 

[kindafoundabuckle]

I would say a love token but they must have broken up before completion.

Found these about 12 years ago. Made from 1943 Australian 6 pences. Found in Montana.
